Information Security

Microsoft Essentials Antivirus software is used by the university for

the protection of the computers from viruses, trojans, worms, spywares, root

kits, hackers. It is a powerful, efficient and user-friendly anti-virus application

that guards our computers against all threats. The files stored in each computer

are automatically scanned for viruses and cleaned every day. Server based

softwares are stored in the centralized servers and all the clients are able to

access them effectively and in a secure manner.

Network Security

SQUID Firewall is used by the university for internet security, network

security, e-mail protection and secure remote access. This firewall is being

used since inception and it has been found to provide good protection,

performance and value. Group policies are created by enabling content filter

option for different categories like Admin wise Policy, Faculty wise Policy,

Students wise Policy etc., to protect the traffic from network by blocking the

sites according to the policies. The entire Dataflow in the University campus is

supervised by Real time Monitoring, Log Monitoring and Packet Monitoring.

Risk Management

The university takes many efforts to ensure that Risk Management is

done to avoid loss of data and other problems associated with it. The process

of planning, organizing, and protecting the University resources are done

effectively in the university by the computer centre.

SQUID Firewall for Internet security and Network security has been

provided for risk management. Domain policies have been created which

control the users of the computer system in a proper way. Entire database

backup of the University website is done automatically. The centre has fire

extinguishers, which can be used to protect any physical damage to the

properties, in case of fire. A 1.5 ton split air conditioner is used to maintain

the temperature constantly in the Server room, which contains routers and

switches. For the power back, One online 10 KVA UPS with 20 batteries of

66AH is being used.

Software Asset Management

Software Asset Management involves managing and optimizing the

purchase, deployment, maintenance, utilization, and disposal of software

applications within University. The university is having the Microsoft

Campus Agreement for Campus Licensing for all the Microsoft Products

includes MS Windows 2008 Server, Microsoft Essentials for Antivirus and



CAL. Other Softwares are MATLAB, Oracle 11i, CATIA, AutoCAD, IBM

Rational Rose, CREO.

Open Source Resource

The computer centre ensures that the open source resources are used

effectively for the curriculum system setup, teaching strategy and resource

construction. Students use open source application in Linux operating system

by using Telnet. PHP, MySQL, and NS2 are used as open source software for

the FOSS Lab and Networks Lab for the students. Open source journals from

DELNET and INFLIBNET are available in the university library for the

benefit of students and scholars.

Green Computing

The university ensures disposal of obsolete electronic items in the

campus. The e-waste is disposed through the vendors for recycling. The

electronic gadgets are disposed through vendors with proper e-waste

management techniques without affecting the environment. Most of the

circulars in the university are sent by email to avoid the use of paper. Printing

on both sides of the paper and use of one-sided paper is advocated to conserve

paper.
